Configuring General Router Features
Viewing a Combined Target and Running Configuration
Although the target and running configurations remain separate until the target configuration is
committed, you can preview the combined target and running configuration without committing the
changes. The combined configuration shows what the new running configuration will look like after the
changes from the target configuration are committed. It does not represent the actual running
configuration.
You can preview the combined configuration in global configuration and administration configuration
modes. You cannot preview the combined configuration in EXEC modes because the target configuration
must be committed or abandoned before returning to EXEC or administration EXEC mode.
To display the combined target and running configuration, type the show configuration merge
command in any configuration mode.
The merge option does not appear in command help until the target configuration contains at least one
Note
configuration change.
The following example shows how to display the active RSP configuration (show running-config),
configure an interface, and display the "merged" configuration:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# show configuration merge
